This is a countdown of my top five music tracks (in order) featured in Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64. While Mario Kart 64 paved the way for 3D kart racers (and there were quite a few clones out there), Diddy Kong Racing offered a new and interesting formula. With a single-player story mode, more courses and even some battle arenas, it was definitely an enjoyable title. Interestingly, items received were completely the same for all players, regardless of placement during a race, so it took true strategy and skill to be able to win. Diddy Kong Racing also supported a highly memorable soundtrack. While not orchestrated or anything, the tunes are very catchy and seem to stick in your head for a while after playing the game. Thus, it is definitely worthy of a music track countdown.

Remember in your comments and feedback that this is my opinion, so please accept that. Also, feel free to give your own lists or name some of your favorite tracks or moments from the game.
